What Harrison Construction Company does

Harrison Construction Company is a regional construction materials supplier headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, operating since 1947 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRH plc — the largest building materials business in North America and a Fortune 500 company listed on the NYSE (CRH), LSE, and ISE. Harrison supplies crushed stone aggregates, ready mix concrete, and asphalt to contractors, developers, and government transportation agencies across East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, drawing on a network of quarries (Waynesville, Cherokee County), ready mix batch plants (greater Knoxville and Morristown), asphalt plants (multiple East Tennessee sites), and sales yards (Morristown, Lovell Road). The company's core technology is conventional heavyside materials production — quarrying, asphalt batching, and ready mix concrete production — with delivery and installation services layered on top and FOB pickup options offered at plant and quarry locations.

The customer base is diversified across infrastructure, commercial, industrial, education, retail, and residential end-markets, with named relationships including Amazon (Knoxville facility), Smith & Wesson and Arconic (Maryville operations), the University of Tennessee, Weigel's retail, and the Tennessee Department of Transportation. A residential/landscaping segment is served through sales yards offering pavers, retaining wall blocks, and decorative aggregates to walk-in/drive-in retail customers. Harrison's go-to-market is sales-led, with a dedicated team of regional sales representatives handling quotes, project consultation, delivery scheduling, and customer support; named sales contacts cover TN Asphalt FOB, NC Aggregate Sales, Ready Mix Concrete Sales, RMC Sales, and Sales Coordination functions.

Harrison's revenue model is transaction-based, generating income through one-time material sales (aggregates, ready mix concrete, asphalt) supplemented by delivery, installation, paving, and milling services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with billing on a pay-as-you-go basis. The company does not have a disclosed revenue figure, and detailed financial performance is consolidated within CRH Americas Materials' Southern Atlantic Region reporting. Distribution is direct — delivery to project sites for enterprise and government customers, plus FOB pickup and walk-in sales yards for SMB and consumer buyers. As part of the CRH Southern Atlantic Region, Harrison coordinates with sister companies APAC Asheville, APAC Atlantic, Midsouth Aggregates, and Thompson Arthur to extend coverage across the Southeast.
